Bat first

September 2 2017, 5:53 PM

Just got back in time to watch the end of the 2nd game.

My memory is fading fast but I do have the impression that historically there is a lot of pressure batting second on finals day, in any of the matches. If statistics prove otherwise I'll be very surprised.

Looking forward to the final, for a lot of complex reasons I'm hoping for a Bears win, but I'd put my £5, if I had one to spare, on the side batting first.

Biggest ground that wants it

Edgbaston has hosted it for the last 6 years and wants to become the permanent home. Trent Bridge is due to host it in 2019, which is madness given it holds around 8,000 less than Edgbaston. Pretty obvious Edgbaston should be the permanent home of finals day.

It really was an excellent tournament. Anybody could beat anybody else and just about every team had a shout of the quarters by the last couple of group games.
Player of the tournament was Wayne Madsen for me, although he had an absolute shocker in the quarter final!
Up and down from the tykes. Great at home and simply awful away.
